I finished reading 'Joker in the Pack' today (actually that is a mis-statement). I began and ended within 3 hours.
This is a book jointly written by two very recent IIM alumni, and since a) I got a lot of mixed comments about my earlier post on the shoddy quality of IIM life books and b) since this is a half decent book, I humbly recommend this book.
Please dont expect any fundamental insights about life, or any masterpiece of literature. Instead, this is a brutally unvarnished, picture perfect mirror of daily life at IIM Bangalore. The book is entirely like its protagonist, a 'fighter' who comes out ok in the end. It is so accurate in its descriptions of places, people, processes and (above all) placements, that it brought back bouts of nostalgia :-). Long live IIM Bangalore!! (and its survivors)

Well - talking about half-decent books - "keep of the grass" by Karan Bajaj (again on IIMB) is kind of readable.
But again - we are not the target audiences, the 2 lac plus junta who dreams of being in IIMB is. With 4-5 books - its still an under-fed market! ;-)
